As I mentioned yesterday, today is the official observation of yesterday's Veteran's Day here in the U.S. Yesterday was also Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, so these also may be observed today in some places, which may make for a slow day. We'll see. Anyway, once again here's a salute to vets everywhere.

Old men are crazy. This 64 year old coot I know was having pain in his chest, so he calls the hospital and they ask him about his symptoms and then go "OH MY GOD YOU ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK WE ARE SENDING AN AMBULANCE RIGHT NOW!"

And he goes "No, don't do that, I'll come in myself!" and hangs up on them.
